Enter Mr. Logsdon's class on any typical day in 5th hour with your eyes closed. You won't need vision to locate us; that's not how we stand out. Instead, focus on your hearing and turn yourself towards the loudest, most argumentative and obnoxious part of the classroom.
The nasally male voice and the drawling but loud female voice should lead you straight to the BEST corner Academy Junior English has ever known.
Ah, yes, a dynamic duo it is. The dynamics vary not in intensity, though (we are just about always intense), but in direction. We always want to yell at someone, but who that person is changes--sometimes we ally and double-heckle one other person, sometimes we deride two different people, and sometimes we just curse each other.
Many of you may wonder how I ever get along with Abi. Sometimes, especially when she blurts some asinine comment in AP US History, I wonder it myself.
After all, I've dug myself into the niche of the condescending, do-gooder (...usually) liberal Commie, while she's occupying a space about as far away as possible as the self-righteous, often socially backward GOP-style conservative. I go to community service clubs; Abi... well I don't know what she does after school and I'll keep it that way. I struggle to watch anything but MSNBC (super liberal news); Abi sometimes seems like she wants the South to rise again.

Be that as it may, I respect Abi--especially because she seems to respect me.
I respect Abi because she is confident, hardworking, and has none of the traits of teenage girls that irritate the snot out of me. Abi has powerful opinions, and she will fight for them. I don't know why she wants to graduate early, but she's probably working harder than most people in the school and yet never complains to me about any of it. On that note, Abi never complains about anything, really. And that's a miracle because I abhor complaining.

(Prepare for some lameness) I see Abi as a red lioness. Yeah. She's intense, characterized by red, and she's aggressive and responsible like a lioness. I hope she doesn't get stuck with a male lion of a guy, who sleeps all day and only wakes up to eat her food.
In five years Abi will already have graduated college. From there I have utterly no idea what she will do, because I've never asked her what interests her, but I think she'll kick its butt. Abi just rolls that way.
